I'm working my way through the book, The Artist's Way, and I feel that because of doing those morning pages, I have finally gotten to start drawing again. Nothing spectacular or wonderful. As a matter of fact, to complete the first one I had to use a grid system to get the spacing and sizing correct. Here it is:

Then the next week I tried to draw without the grid and did not do so good, but I still like the picture. I am planning to work some more and tweak parts of this picture and will show you again when I feel it is finished. I liked this picture because the girl in it has the largest eyes I have ever seen on a person.

I think her nose is too long and her jaw is too weak, so will be working on those issues. Otherwise, I really think it looks like the girl in the picture I used to draw from.

About Me

As a psychiatric nurse for the last 20 years, I have seen many changes
in the way we, as a population, view and respond to those we deem
"mentally ill".
I know that anyone, anywhere can be affected by mental illness, just
like anyone, anywhere can become diabetic. I know that we need to treat
these people as we, ourselves, would want to be treated.
